Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results

I’m keeping the faith, but only just, in fact I find myself sitting on the fence as far as Celtic’s title winning prospects are concerned. There’s a section of our support who have already given up on the title already, and that is understandable. There is also a section who still have belief and that is also just as understandable, but as for myself, I’m sort of in between truth be told.

I’ve never been accused of sitting on the fence when it comes to giving my opinions on all things Celtic, yet that is exactly where I find myself today. Dropping a one-time eight point lead doesn’t exactly install you with confidence, neither does watching the lacklustre displays the players have been putting in lately.

That is not the form of champions and despite them being far from a formidable side, theRangers look as if they have the momentum and confidence needed to go on and win the title and the annoying thing is it’s been given to them by our own failings. That said we are Celtic and we have come back from worse deficits in the past. We have a history of overcoming the odds and being successful. So that should give us hope, it’s all we can do after all.

We have the players, we have the know how to be successful, we have the manager, but they need to start showing that in our upcoming games if we are to prevail. I’m Keeping the faith, but just.

Drastic change is needed NOW if the title is going to be won. As the saying goes, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results and hopefully the penny drops up at Lennoxtown.  Next up for Celtic is Motherwell away, in December during the Invincible season we found ourselves 2-0 down at Fir Park.

Brendan Rodgers changed the shape and went with a midfield diamond and we ended up winning 4-3 in one of the most dramatic games of that memorable season. History should repeat itself on Sunday.

Play the outstanding Joe Hart in goals and bring CCV back into the defence alongside maybe Lagerbielke (Scales needs a rest) and have Ralston (who got the assist at the weekend, nothing from the wingers as usual) and Taylor (for 90 mins) as the full-backs. A diamond midfield of Tomoki, McGregor, Bernardo and O’Riley and a front two of Kyogo and Idah. Have Daizen on the bench and the rest of the wingers in the stand.

Or alternative play your 4-3-3, Brendan, with two wingers who you’ll have to replace with another two who end up just as bad or even worse and then the following week you can tell yourself that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Just an Ordinary Bhoy
